Towel Laundry Service in NYC for Salons, Spas, Gyms and Studios
If your business runs on towels, you know how fast they pile up. A busy salon can go through a stack before lunch. A gym fills a bin every few hours. A spa or yoga studio needs every towel soft, fresh and odor-free, because clients notice. Fold NY’s towel laundry service in NYC picks up your used towels, washes them in our own laundromat in Ridgewood, Queens, and brings them back clean and folded on a schedule that fits your business. Our drivers serve Queens, Brooklyn and Manhattan.
No more running a tiny washer in the back room all day, no more staff folding between clients, and no more running out of clean towels on a Saturday.
Who We Wash Towels For
- Hair salons — shampoo towels, color towels and capes that are machine washable.
- Barbershops — hot towels, neck towels and shop towels used all day long.
- Spas and massage studios — bath sheets, face cloths, robes and table linens.
- Gyms and fitness studios — workout towels, shower towels and locker room linens.
- Yoga and pilates studios — hand towels, mat towels and blankets.
- Nail and beauty studios — small towels and cloths that cycle through every appointment.
We also run commercial laundry for hotels, property managers, restaurants and productions, so we’re used to working with businesses that need dependable, repeat pickups.
Why Towels Are Harder Than They Look
Towels carry more than water. Depending on your business, they’re soaking up sweat, body oils, massage oils, hair product and the dampness that lingers in a gym bag or laundry bin. Left sitting, that turns into the sour smell that never quite washes out in a small machine. Overloaded home or back-room washers don’t give towels enough room to rinse fully, so residue builds up and they get stiff and less absorbent over time.
Our laundromat uses large commercial machines, including 80 lb washers, so heavy towel loads have space to move, rinse and dry evenly.
Why Businesses Choose Fold NY
Ozone in every load
Every load we wash goes through ozone, a natural sanitizer that helps remove bacteria, odors and allergens. For towels, that’s the whole game: fresh-smelling towels that feel clean against a client’s face, neck or hands. Ozone also lets us use fewer harsh chemicals and is gentler on fabric, so your towels stay softer and last longer before they need replacing. Read more about our ozone wash.
Fragrance-free for sensitive clients
Spa and salon clients often have sensitive skin or don’t want a heavy detergent scent competing with your products. Hypoallergenic, fragrance-free detergent is available, and your preferences, including cold wash or hang-dry for specific items, are saved to your account.
Our own laundromat, our own drivers
Your towels are washed at our laundromat at 53-25 Metropolitan Ave in Ridgewood, never outsourced. Our own drivers pick up and deliver, so you’re dealing with one team from bag to shelf.
Room to grow
We handle thousands of pounds of laundry per day. Opening a second location, adding classes or heading into your busy season doesn’t mean you need a new laundry vendor.
Custom Pickup Schedules
Every business runs on a different rhythm. A barbershop might want a couple of pickups a week. A gym with heavy morning and evening traffic may need more. Through our commercial laundry program, we set custom pickup and delivery days around your hours and your towel inventory. You can schedule single or repeat pickups and track every order in the Fold NY app.
A simple system that works well: keep enough towels for at least two full cycles. One batch is in use at the shop, one is with us. When we drop off clean towels, we take the dirty bin back with us, and you never run short.
How It Works
- 1. Tell us what you need. Share your business type, how many towels you go through and how often you’d like pickups. We’ll put together a custom schedule and quote.
- 2. We pick up. Our drivers collect your bagged towels on your scheduled days.
- 3. Fresh towels come back. Everything is washed with ozone in our Ridgewood laundromat, dried, folded and returned ready to stack.

Where We Pick Up
We offer free pickup and delivery to businesses across Queens, Brooklyn and Manhattan. Our laundromat is on Metropolitan Ave in Ridgewood, Queens (11385), close to Brooklyn neighborhoods full of salons, barbershops, gyms and studios, including Bushwick (11237), Williamsburg (11211) and Greenpoint (11222), as well as Long Island City (11101) in Queens. Manhattan businesses are covered on our delivery routes too. If you have more than one location, we can schedule pickups for each.
Tips to Make Your Towels Last
- Don’t let wet towels sit. Use ventilated bins or bags and get them picked up regularly, since damp towels left closed up are where odors start.
- Separate heavy-duty towels. Keep color, bleach or oil-heavy towels in their own bag so they stay apart from your client-facing towels.
- Go with one color. Matching towels across your space make counting and restocking easier and look sharper to clients.
- Rotate your stock. Using towels in rotation spreads wear evenly instead of burning through the top of the pile.
- Save your preferences. Fragrance-free or cold wash, set it once and it’s applied to every order.
